Changing the Text Size

If you have a general problem with the size of text on websites (ours and others) there are four ways of increasing the size:

1. Change Operating System Preferences

You can change settings within Windows or Macintosh operating system to increase the size of text used – this makes all text on your computer larger (not just websites)

2. Change Browser Preferences

You can change settings within your browser to increase the default size of “normal” text – this has the effect of enlarging the text on all the websites that you visit (provided those websites have been built in an accessible way)

• Internet Explorer 6
From the top menu bar, select View and point to Text size
• Internet Explorer 7
From the menu bar underneath the search field, select Page and point to Text size
• Mozilla, Firefox and most other browsers (PC)
Hold down the CTRL key and press + Decrease text size: Hold down the CTRL key and press –
• Macintosh (Safari, Firefox and most other browsers)
Hold down the Command key and press + Decrease text size: Hold down the Command key and press –
3. Zoom-in (Modern Browsers only)

You can use modern browsers to enlarge any web-page – the effect is to zoom-in to the page just like enlarging an image. All “modern” browsers support this feature: Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 8 (but unfortunately not Internet Explorer versions 6 or 7)

4. Change Size only for this Website

You can use the font enlargement controls in the website footer to increase the text size of this website (which only effects this website). This can be activated through the ‘Text larger / smaller’ links above. Please note, our text resizing feature is dependent on Javascript being turned on.

Where our text resizing feature is not available, you can achieve the same result independently by following these instructions.

HTML / CSS Based Design

By using the latest standardised web development practices we separate content from presentation and allow specialist browsers to display our content in their browsers with even greater compatibility.

Alternative Image Text

An effort is made to ensure that all images within the site contain alt tags. If they are layout only images, they contain empty alt tags so that special browsers know to skip over them.

Hyperlink Titles

The title attribute on links within this site is used to attach descriptive explanations of link content. This helps the link maintain cohesion when it is read out of context.

Menu Navigation (Access Keys)

You can navigate through the menu using the TAB key.
